🕸️ The Inspiration: Wilted Garden
An abandoned garden where only the oleander grows. The Poisoned Well is the Gothic version. It mixes the Oleander with Algae, Cold Water, and Moss. It is melancholic and haunting.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Mud and Floral
The scent opens with Cold Water. The heart is Oleander (The Poison) and Damp Wood. The base is Vetiver and Soil. It is haunting.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It smells like a beautiful danger. Wet stone, wilted flowers, and the scent of the abyss."
